New Christmas Themed Blog Posts

I know Christmas is over but I’m a bit behind on my posts for my other blogs. Sorry!!! Last night I got the Rankin/ Bass special Santa Claus is Coming to Town done for Ladytink’s Neverland and today The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum is up over on The Movieholic and Bibliophile Blog. I hope you enjoy them!

BTT-Highlights

It’s an old question, but a good one . . . What were your favorite books this year?

List as many as you like … fiction, non-fiction, mystery, romance, science-fiction, business, travel, cookbooks … whatever the category. But, really, we’re all dying to know. What books were the highlight of your reading year in 2007?

I actually have already answered this question in last week’s BTT but here are my favorite favorites out of those: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling, The Harlequin by Laurell K. Hamilton, A Lick of Frost by Laurell K. Hamilton, and All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris.

I hope to read more current books in 2008.

8 Random Facts about Me Meme

Darla D got me back by tagging me with this meme which is much harder if I may say so lol! Well here goes nothing!

1. When a book or a movie thoroughly captures my attention I’ll start talking out loud about it myself or when I’m trying to figure out “whodunit” in a mystery I’ll reason my way through it out loud. Drives people nuts and 9 times out of 10 I don’t realize I’m doing it.

2. When I was a little kid (and sometimes now), I’d talk about characters in books like they were real to other people. My mom would always have to make sure I was talking about real friends and not fictional ones.

3. As you may have noticed on my blogs I got through certain phases where I don’t feel like reading and would rather watch bunches of movies (kind of what’s happening now) other times I want to do nothing but read and won’t even want to go see a movie at the theater with hubby.

4. I collect my DVDs and books. Once I buy something I rarely ever will get rid of it again, for some reason I can’t bring myself to part with it!

5. I have an entire shelf devoted to old Disney books and other special edition Disney books. Or for that matter anything that has to do with animated movies or their creators (How to be Like Walt is a great one).

6. (Totally non-book or movie related but) I love to bake and find it very soothing but I can’t cook to save my soul. It’s a good thing my husband is such a finicky eater and wouldn’t eat anything I cooked anyways!

7. I just turned 21 and I still don’t know how to drive. Cars scare the daylights out of me!!!

8. I have never, ever been beat at the Disney Scene-It games.

Just about everyone has now been tagged for this so if you haven't yet, then please by all means consider yourself tagged!

New Camera-Lucy

Hubby and I bought a new camera last night. Here's a photo of my mom's dog Lucy:

**Update**: Speaking of reindeer, I have my post on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer up on Ladytink's Neverland!

Romance Title Meme

There's a game that's being played over on Book Binge where you:
"Take the letters of your name and write out a title of a romance novel for it. It's that simple, see if you can actually do it. You can omit the words "A" and "The" from the title to suit your needs if you want". It's a lot harder than it looks but try Amazon.com for help.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Elusive Flame by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Naughty or Nice? by by Alison Tyler
Ice Storm by Anne Stuart
First Comes Love by Whitney Lyles
Easy on the Heart by Jodi Thomas
Really Unusual Bad Boys by MaryJanice Davidson

I'd like to tag Literary Feline, Melody and Darla D to do this if they feel up to it and anyone else that wants to!!!

Stairs Suck

Three days till Christmas and I'm miserable! I fell down some stairs today, hit my spine twice and skinned one whole arm. Not fun is a severe understatement but at least I didn't break anything! Hopefully it won't bruise too bad because I've got so much running around left to do!

....Does anyone have any ideas on what I could get my Mother in Law? I have a new post up on Christmas Comes to Pacland.

Photo Hunters-Light

Today's theme is Light

I couldn't think of anything light (and I'm visting family in Georgia without my camera) so I went through some old photo's on my Flickr account and found this one. My husband took this picture the first time I ever visited Mississippi (this is on the Biloxi beach). Don't you love how it looks like it goes on forever? The light, fluffy clouds are so pretty.

There are tons more people participating. Go check them out!

BTT-And, the Nominees Are…

1. What fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.)
   
2. What non-fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.)
   
3. And, do “best of” lists influence your reading?

Fiction Nominations (links to my posts on the books too):
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling(of course), Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich, The Harlequin by Laurell K. Hamilton, A Lick of Frost by Laurell K. Hamilton, For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison, All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris, Undead and Uneasy by MaryJanice Davidson, No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong, & Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke

Nonfiction Nominations:
I'm ashamed to say that all of the nonfiction books I read this year were published before 2007. Next year I'll be reading more nonfiction though!

I rarely pay any attention to those "Best of" Lists but from what I've seen on Amazon.com's Editors Picks I'll just stick with recommendations from friends.

Gifts & Birthdays

Don't you just love the banner above? "Tomorrow is My Birthday"! December has just flew by!

We did the whole gift exchange with hubby's aunt and uncle last night and he got the first season of Rescue Me (I love Denis Leary so I'll probably be the one watching it) and I got the four disc Christmas Television Favorites with 8 Christmas specials in all! Too cool! There is even one I haven't ever seen too! It's Rudolphs and Frosty in July. I can't wait to watch this so I'm taking it with me to Georgia.

Today is the last day I have to get anything done so I've got to go finish up those last few little things and make sure everything is packed.

ToT-10 New Year’s Resolutions

I'm doing good so far! I've gotten two things off my list from last Tuesday's ToT. This week is New Year's Resolutions, something I've actually never done or at least followed through with :o) so hopefully maybe I'll be able to do it this time.

New Post & New Meme

I went to my husband's cousin's bridal shower last night and it was very nice. Today I'm getting some of my packing done and now comes the hardest part... what books to bring! I know I'll be coming back with a ton more so I can't bring too many and unsurprisingly I don't get too much reading done up there either lol.

I got my post up on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie and I hope to get my Flintstone Christmas one up tonight too but for now I have to go make some peanut butter cookies.

Here's a new Meme:

Christmas Q & A/ Ramblings

I got one of my birthday presents early this year! It's a scanner/printer/copier and it's so cool! I also recieved a book I won in a raffle over on J. Kaye's Book Blog that I'm looking forward to reading.

I was hoping to get most of my posts done that I have backed up (9 and counting right now) but you know how that goes! I did manage to get It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special up today though at the Ladytink's Neverland blog.

At least I got my hubby to wrap up all the Christmas presents and I got some baking done. Yay me!


Christmas Q & A:
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper is the best!
2. Tree - real or artificial? Real, I'd rather deal with having to vaccuum alot than having to go without that wonderful smell.
3. When do you put the tree up? Whenever I can, but at least a week or two before Christmas (it's up now)
4. When do you take the tree down? Before New Years
5. Like eggnog? Never tried it but it doesn't sound good to me
6. Do you have a nativity scene? No
7. Favorite gift received as a child? My mom had this big box under the tree and told me that's all I was getting for Christmas but when I finally got to open it, I discovered it was full of (wrapped) toys (you know unwrapping them is the best part!). Followed closely by the time my mom sent me to my grandmother's house until Christmas Eve so she could redo my entire room with all new stuff (pink walls, bookshelves, desk, bed, etc)
8. Hardest person to buy for? My MIL and my husband
9. Easiest person to buy for? My mom. We have the same tastes and she's not afraid to tell me what she wants.
10. Worst Christmas gift ever? I've been blessed with great Christmas presents, seriously!
11. Mail or email a Christmas card? Mail or hand-delivered
12. Favorite Christmas movie? It's a Wonderful Life and The Ref but I have too many favorite Christmas TV specials to name.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? It's random. I start officially after Thanksgiving but I usually have a few presents before then
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope
15. Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Fudge!
16. Clear or colored tree lights? Clear
17. Favorite Christmas song? Any Christmas novelty song, especially soundtracks to great Christmas specials.
18. Travel during Christmas or stay home? Hubby gets two paid weeks of vacation every year and we spend it in Georgia with my family and his mom.
19. Can you name Santa's reindeer? Yes, in 10 seconds or less
20. Can you name all seven dwarfs? Come on, Ladytink? Of course I can!
21. Angel or Star on tree top? Angel or Faerie!
22. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? One on Christmas Eve sometimes and all in the morning.
23. Most annoying thing about this time of year? That it seems to start too early and people are grouchy and tired of it by the time it actually gets here.

Photo Hunters- Small

Today's theme is Small

I woke up this morning to find Molly here perched on a mound of dirt. It makes her looks so small!

BookPrice.com

I just found out about a great site where you can compare book prices from various websites to get the cheapest price. I know this sounds like an advertisement but I really think I'll be using it a lot! It's called BookPrice.com. I think this would be even better for libraries so I'm going to suggest it to my local one.

BTT- Catalog

Do you use any of the online book-cataloguing sites, like Library Thing or Shelfari? Why or why not? (Or . . . do you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about?)

If not an online catalog, do you use any other method to catalog your book collection? Excel spreadsheets, index cards, a notebook, anything?

I have a Library Thing account that I started a couple of years ago but I don't use it anymore. I'm pretty good at keeping up with what I have and don't have so I haven't felt the need to continue cataloging my books. I keep up with what I've read in a txt. document on my computer instead and that works much better for me.

Every Month is a Holiday Challenge

I joined this really cool reading challenge back in September that runs from January- December of 2008 called The “Every Month is a Holiday” Challenge. If you think about it, every day is a celebration for someone so there are lots of things to choose from and the main page lists quite a few choices. I finally got around to figuring out my list of what I’m reading for the challenge and why I’m reading that certain book will be in parentheses:

January- The Complete Tales of Pooh by A. A. Milne (Milne’s birthday)
February- Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (Dickens’ birthday)
March- Dr. Seuss & Mr. Geisel by Judith and Neil Morgan (Dr. Seuss’ birthday)
April- Puttin’ on the Grits by Deborah Ford (Southern Belle Month)
May- Enchantment: The Life of Audrey Hepburn by Donald Spoto (Hepburn’s birthday)
June- The Art of Maurice Sendak by Selma Lanes (Sendak’s birthday)
July- E. B. White: A Biography by Scott Elledge (White’s birthday)
August- Black Beauty by Anna Sewell (Homeless Animal Day)
September- The Roald Dahl Treasury by Roald Dahl (Dahl’s birthday)
October- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving (Halloween)
November- Thanksgiving Day by Janet Evanovich (Thanksgiving
December- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (Christmas)

I can’t wait to start!

The trailer for it is already out:

Booking Through Thursday-OOP

This week’s question is suggested by Island Editions:

Do you have a favourite book, now out of print, that you would like to see become available again?

Yes, and I've actually recently blogged about it. The book is Scruffy by Jack Stoneley. I have it and it's a wonderful story (it was even made into a TV movie) but it's so hard to find! There was also a book I read as a child called Travel Far, Pay No Fare by Anne Lindbergh that I loved as well (it was published in 1992). I lucked out and got a copy in great condition but I'd love to see these re-released.

Happy Birthday...

Oh I almost forgot! Today is one of my most favoritest people in the whole world's birthday!

Happy Birthday Walt! You are missed.

Thanks for Visiting Yesterday

Wow there sure were a lot of people here yesterday! Hope everyone enjoyed my post for the 2007 Advent Calender. I loved visiting all of the people's sites too. I'd like to continue putting up Christmas videos the rest of the month. I'm doing a bit of cleaning today but later on I hope to get up at least one post (I'm so far behind!) done sometime soon.

I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardbrobe by C.S. Lewis last night for the first time and really liked it so I'm looking forward to talking about that soon too. I'm amazed at how closely the Disney film (made last year) sticks to the story. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Enjoy Bing and Frank:

What Christmas Tree Are You?

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

What is it about December that makes everyone (well as long as you’re not a last-minute shopper) a little more cheerful? Is it the music? The family you get to see? The presents? The goodies?

December means all of those things to me and more. I was born during this month (the 20th), my great-grandmother was born during this month (the 15th), and several of my friends also celebrate birthday’s during December too. One of them on Christmas Day! So as you can tell, I’ve always done a lot of celebrating during the holidays.

This is the time of the year when my husband and I always go back home to Georgia for the whole two weeks he’s off work (have I mentioned I love the company he works for?). My mom and I spend days baking up a storm to give tins of homemade goodies to all her friends and my in-laws. Homemade fudge (chocolate and peanut butter), peanut brittle, divinity.... you name it, we’ve probably made it.

We also spend the whole month watching tons of Christmas specials and movies. Of course there’s the must-see How the Grinch Stole Christmas (look for a post on this later this week over at Ladytink’s Neverland) but what else has everyone been watching lately? How about reading? I’m currently in the middle of the anthology Holiday’s Are Hell by Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Marjorie M. Liu, & Vicki Pettersson and my mom is reading Blue Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews.

Oh and don’t forget our furry friends this Christmas! Holiday plants like holly and mistletoe are poisonous and the white sap in poinsettias can cause severe stomach problems as well so be careful and have a Merry Christmas!

Lurkers/ Advent Calender

Wow I've had a ton of lurkers today! Don't be afraid to leave comments so I can come visit you. I promise I won't bite! I managed to get a post up today on The Fluppy Dogs and I've decided to stop posting links behind the pictures because not many people find them.

I hope everyone is enjoying the 2007 Advent Calender so far! I'm already getting stage fright. I've got a few holiday videos I'm going to share tomorrow but I think I'm going to start early with this Pluto short:
